Introducing the SkyTagger geotagging system: the ultimate low-cost precision geotagging system for manned aircraft aerial mapping missions. The SkyTagger is a small computer that triggers the camera and logs the camera's location at the exact instant of exposure. This geotag information is used during post-flight processing to make seamless orthomosaic maps, digital elevation models, etc.
FACTS AT-A-GLANCE
PROVEN FLIGHT CAPABILITY
PRECISION INTERVALOMETER
Enables accurate and automated camera triggering, ensuring synchronized image capture during aerial surveys
REAL-TIME DISPLAY
Displays current coordinates accuracy in meters and connected satellites for DGPS
UNIVERSAL COMPATIBILITY
Turns ANY camera (Canon, Nikon, PhaseOne, etc) into an airborne 3D mapping system
ORTHO MAPPING
Data captured can be used to create a seamless orthomosaic and co-registered Digital Elevation Model (DEM)
CENTIMETER ACCURACY
Produces real time sub 10 cm level accuracy using Precise Point Positioning (PPP) technology. (Requires Atlas-H10
global correction service subscription)
STREAMLINED INTERFACE
Simple touchscreen control and timer of any camera used for airborne imagery (adjustable .3 to 99 second interval between exposures)
